A. The rate stays the same
B. The rate triples
C. The rate increases ninefold
D. The rate halves
Answer: The rate increases ninefold
For a reaction with the rate law Rate = k[A][B]², how is the rate affected if the concentration of B is tripled?
Additional Information: Since the rate is proportional to [B]², tripling the concentration of B increases the rate by a factor of 9.
